Notes

  1. The authors define non-standard working as ‘encompassing part-time work, temporary work, fixed-term work, and seasonal work’, and draw from research by Bisom-Rapp which demonstrates that non-standard working results in obstacles to career progression and earnings growth.

  2. Such as Butler (2010), Allison (2013), and Butler (2004).

  3. For example, Okin (1989), Barrett (1980), and Conaghan and Rittich (2005).
